Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.This hitch fit very nicely. This is the second such hitch I've installed. First on a "96 Tacoma and this time on a "98 Tacoma. Both fit surprisingly well. It arrived with some paint scuffed off, but I fixed that. 519882
This is the 5th hitch I have installed, the first on a truck and 22 years old, not new. No collision history, but the fit was very tight and required some pounding. The sequence of bolt placement should probably start at the frame rails rather the angle bracket which positioned the most forward holes off center. The 4 metric hex nuts were replaced with 1/2"-13 nuts in the hardware packet. The old nuts were reused, so no trip to the store. This will provide me with a versatile farm truck with flexible towing and hauling capabilities. 518757
Nice, thank you for the great service and the nice trailer hitch. Looks good and easy to install. 404522
Don D - 07/12/2018Solid piece of equipment, happy with purchase. Took two people a couple hours, should have made sure the holes were lined up before tightening down [Thumbs up] 714027
Zero complaints. Everything went perfect. Shipped very fast, and mounted on my 03' Tacoma with no issues. Took about an hour for me to install (would have been faster with air tools, but wife and baby were asleep). The Hopkins wiring kit was really easy too. Time to go buy a boat and go fishing. 634241
Great kit, everything you need. 207387
Your Company was great, quick delivery and the item fits well. On the other hand UPS was really rough o the box, we were not home when he dropped it off or I would have said something. Thanks again 612553
Leonard - 03/18/2020Install was a pretty straight forward. Without pneumatics you'll want a 2' break-over bar for this job and I'd PB Blaster the existing hardware the night before for easier removal. There are bolts in the holes for the forward-most mounts. The instructions show an empty hole. I wouldn't recommend even attempting to remove these with a standard 14mm socket & ratchet. Having tried and nearly rounding the heads I bought an Irwin Bolt Grip set ($33 at NAPA, be sure to get the one with the 14mm size) and they came out with considerable effort on the end of my 2' bar. Be sure to keep the socket square on the head and be patient. Once the unnecessary hardware was removed and the flanges installed at the back I put the hitch in place with all hardware loose to ensure clean threading of the forward bolts into the captured nut in the frame. Square things up to the bumper and tighten all the hardware (2 each: bumper mount nuts/bolts holding the flange, forward bolts into captured nut in frame, rear machine bolts/nuts mounting hitch to frame through the flanges). Three hours including the trip to NAPA, should have taken about half that time. Good luck! 78486

the hitch got to me quick and it bolted right on to my 2001 Tacoma. I pull a 12ft trailer with it usually full of wood or a motorcycle and it has done a great job. 678199
I finally got around to putting this on my truck. Instructions were easy. Everything went on just as planned. This is the second thing I bought from etrailer that went smooth. These guys are definitely my first stop for parts 664860
Install was fairly easy. I made my mistake by following the video instead of the printed instructions. My install was on a 2004 Tacoma. Instead of the removing the bolts 16" from the back of the frame I removed the ones closest to the bumper (WRONG). I had to drop the hitch back out and remove the ones specified in the printed instructions as said earlier 16". The only other problem I ran into was positioning the hitch. I was doing it alone and after trying to man handle it into place, I decided it to drop the spare. After droping the spare it went right in. If you're working by yourself I'd advise droping the spare the extra room makes for a easier install. All holes lined up perfectly. I'm very happy with this product. Install, even with my minor problems, still only took 45 minutes. 18427
Just received it. Looks solid and good quality product. Big metal thing could be packed better : box was broken, metal parts were exposed and scratched. 568558
Had to make some adjustments for the tow package to fit, but overall I'm satisfied. My only complaint is that the instructions could have been a little more detailed. 445089
Tom T - 10/23/2018Solid hitch. Paint chips on the edge of the laser cuts is typical, I was told. Specific touch up paint was suggested. At price offered, powder coating would be expecting too much, I guess. Hardware bag had right piece count but a critical piece missing. Recommend you inspect all hardware before kicking off the DIY project. Customer service promptly shipped out the missing piece. I found etrailer.com a very user friendly website. Customer service was very responsive. Chips were minor, so had the hardware been correct this would be a 5 star rating. 720406
Ball mount comes with pin and clip but it did not say that in the description, so we bought a pin and clip which we don't need. Not expensive and more postage to send it back than we would get for it, but we will end up throwing it away which is a total waste of resources. The hitch was packaged with no covering on the ends so they broke through the box which was in tatters by the time it arrived. Fortunately, the small items that were packed in the box did not fall out. Other than that, all materials arrived in a timely manner and the order was accurate. 670549

Easy and quick 664475
Installation was a snap. The hitch and the other components purchased (wiring harness, mounting bracket, dielectric grease) worked as expected. Very satisfying process from purchase to installation. 652337
